Description: Bright, bookish Oscar Lowe has escaped the urban estate where he was raised and made a new life for himself amid the colleges and spires of Cambridge. Contented with his life as a care assistant at a local nursing home, he's forged a close friendship with one of the home's residents, Dr Paulsen. But when he meets and falls in love with Iris Bellwether, a student at King's College, Oscar is drawn into her world of scholarship and privilege, and soon becomes embroiled in the strange machinations of her brilliant but troubled brother, Eden. Eden's self-belief is boundless, and as he draws his sister and closed circle of friends into a series of disturbing experiments, Oscar realises the extent of the danger facing them all.
